Souverian

The bells will ring Church steeple's catching fire And if you promise spring Then I know you are a liar Cause in the spring Tender grasses won't burn easily The thrushes sing Still my lover won't return to me Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs While thistles will burn my feet And if you join our chorus You'll never fear anymore So here it comes, just the chorus We will meet on a fatal shore Souverian Souverian The elder Souverian Souverian The free Souverian Souverian The felled heart So very young So very young Were we Birds were singing Still my lover won't return to me You promise spring Still my lover won't return to me Wild parsnips scar my lungs And the thistles are burning my feet So here it comes, the chorus You will never fear anymore If you join our chorus We will meet on a fatal shore Under the elders the older get younger the younger get over over the elders and under the elders pretend that you're older now Under the elders the older get younger the younger get older over the elders under the elders bending the branches down We were so very young Still my lover won't return to me Thrushes sing Still my lover won't return to me Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs While thistles still burn my feet --- Souverian - Andrew Bird
